Luthier Services

A professional setup can make a big difference in the playability, tone, and performance of your instrument. We will adjust your guitar’s relief, action, and intonation, ensuring that it plays comfortably, sounds great, and stays in tune. We can also diagnose and address any issues with your guitar, from buzzing and dead spots to tuning problems and more. Whether you’re a professional musician or just getting started, we’re here to help you get the most out of your guitar.

When your instrument is set up properly your strings vibrate freely over the frets never making contact with them, but sometimes a string will vibrate against a fret causing an annoying buzzing sound. Whether it’s being caused by uneven frets, incorrect neck relief, worn parts, technique, or other reasons, the technicians at Savannah Guitar Lutherie and Mercantile can track it down and correct it for you.

Old strings sound bad and can be uncomfortable to play. Bring it in to us for a quick restring and cleaning. Whenever possible we try to provide this service while you wait. The cost of the strings is additional and varies depending on your instrument and brand of choice.
